Flow control valves Series TMCU, TMVU, TMCO
Unidirectional and bidirectional banjo flow controllers with nominal diameter 2 – 3,8 – 5,8 – 8 mm
Ports: G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2
Ports: G1/8, G1/4, G3/8, G1/2
Series TMCU, TMVU, TMCO unidirectional and bidirectional flow controllers have been revised in order to decrease their dimensions and improve their flow rate characteristics. Their construction allows for easy assembly to cylinders and valves and allows the regulation adjustment to be precise and gradual.
General Data
| Construction | Needle – type |
| Valve group | Unidirectional and bidirectional controller |
| Materials | Brass – technopolymer – NBR |
| Mounting | By male threaded |
| Threaded ports | G1/8 – G1/4 – G3/8 – G1/2 |
| Installation | In any position |
| Operating temperature | 0°C ÷ 60°C (with dry air -20°C) |
| Operating pressure | 0,5 ÷ 10 bar |
| Nominal pressure | 6 bar |
| Nominal flow | See graph |
| Nominal dia. | Tube 4 Ø2 – Tube 6 Ø3,8 – Tube 8 Ø5,8 – Tube 10 and 12 Ø8 |
| Fluid | Filtered air If lubricated air is used, it is recommended to use ISOVG 32 oil. Once applied the lubrication should never be interrupted. |
Coding Example
| TM | CU | 9 | 74 | – | 1/8 | – | 6 |
| TM | ACTUATION TM = Manual |
| CU | ASSEMBLY CU = On cylinders unidirectional VU = On valves unidirectional CO = Bidirectional |
| 9 | VERSIONS 9 = Manual needle |
| 74 | REGULATION 72 (step = 2 / Ø tube = 4) 74 (step = 3,8 / Ø tube = 6) 76 (step = 5,8 / Ø tube = 8) 78 (step = 8 / Ø tube = 10) |
| 1/8 | PORTS 1/8 1/4 3/8 1/2 |
| 6 | Ø TUBE 4 6 8 10 |
To ensure the right choice of unidirectional flow controller, proceed as follows: calculate the quantity of air in Nl/min (see cylinder Table); determine the stroke time of the cylinder; refer to graph to see which controller is the right type.
